can you still open the sliding glass door when the the dog door is installed ?
24281
Yes. But the opening will be less the length of the door. So your opening will shrink the size of the door.
24282
Yes you can. BUT you have to install it very well not to have a slight opening/a crack, so to speak, that lets in cold air. Must be aligned perfectly which we couldn't quite achieve. So we wound up putting strips of clear weatherproof tape all down that crack which meant we can't slide open the door without tearing lose the tape. But, it is so convenient for the cats, we are living with a door that can't be open.

yes, the door can still be opened and or locked. These are very well made and you will like the quality.

Yes, you can make the door open either way. Directions are extremely confusing however it can be done

You can adjust the closing (and thus opening) force. It should be no problem to adjust it such that a dog can push open the door.

I wouldn't cut into glass if I were you. If you are talking about a sliding glass door then they have petdoors made just for them that just go in between the door and the wall like a insert.

I have plenty of room. The sliding glass door opens 16 inches. I love this pet door.

yes ,the rough opening for a sliding door sits slightly lower than the floor ,so when you install the panel ,the dog runs back and forth with ease and the actual rise is about one half inch.

Yes. I added an L bracket to the top of the pet door to secure it to the top of the door frame for added rigidness.

No it doesn't. You have to use a bar to have your sliding glass door be secure.

If the French door has sufficient wood in the bottom panel to accommodate the dog door it can go. However, most French doors I'm familiar with have glass all the way to the bottom sso the dog can't be installed unless you have a glass cut for it. A difficult and expensive proposition.

As the opening for my sliding glass door was 96 inches, mine is located in my screen track rather than my door track. Where we live in California, this is generally optimal in that we would prefer the door open but the screen closed. The top of the dog door slides down a little allowing it to then release back up into the door track. As our door is deeper in the frame, the slide down did not go far enough for us to angle it into the door frame, but it was enough to get it in the screen frame. Once there the sliding section at the top can be tighted in place.

I'm sorry, this door is not meant to be used with a sliding glass door and is not made to work in tandom with a second screen without a specialized kit which is no longer made. The door uses a latch instead of a magnet.Thank you,Hardware Sales

Hi Amy, Unfortunately, no the door cannot be switched to open in the other direction.

Mine is a large, 13.5 in wide X 24 in high (the actual opening). It would take a lot of talent to install in glass and if you have a large puppy, I would not recommend even trying. If you have a sliding glass patio door, you can purchase a panel that fits in the door and it has a dog door built in. They are around $150 and Petco sells them.

The door has a spring loaded adjustment at the top of the unit. You hold it down while putting in place, then let go. It fits over the tracks that the slidder would normally use. To install, open glass slidder and screen door then install doggie door over the screen door tracks, up against door frame. Hold down the spring loaded top, slide into place then let go of the top. There are two knobs at he top to lock the door into place.

No. Access is from the wire front door. Well I guess you could un-clip the side but it's not the way to put a pet in. You can dissassemble the sides but takes sometime. Hope that answers your question.

Yes you can lock the pet door so the dog cannot go out or other animals cannot come in.

Yes. There are 2 glass doors that install desperately from the unit and you can easily leave them off. Put the aside and save them in case you decide to use them some other time.
